Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

SortNewestOldestTitle A-ZTitle Z-A
Aspect as received, side A, of the part removed from the rectangular tube that was manufactured from plates, and originally presented two welded seams (not included in the sample). Close to the edges of the sample, where probably were the corners of the rectangular tube, the degradation is in a highest level. Three samples were analysed, with different thicknesses (indicated in the figure). Side A is the side that was in contact with the reaction (product side).

Aspect as received, side B, of the same part. Side B is the external side of the rectangular tube, that was in contact with the electric furnace atmosphere. This surface of side B presented less degradation than the internal surface (side A).

Transverse section macrography of the plate where the degradation by thinning is worst, close to the original corners of the tube. The thinning is occurrring from the product reaction side (side A to the bottom of the figure). The macrography shows a reduction in the thickness from 2 mm (right side, sample 2) to almost zero (left side, sample 1).

Longitudinal section macrography of the plate where the degradation by thinning is reducing the thickness from 6mm to 4mm (sample 3). The thinning is occurrring from the product reaction side (side A to the bottom of the figure).

SAMPLE 1 AT THE FRACTURE - Micrography at the position where the thickness is reduced to zero. Side A to the bottom. The microstructure is austenite with intergranular and transgranular precipitation. The position of the zero thickness presents aspect of an intergranular fracture, and in side A there are several intergranular cracks from the surface.
